Homes for sale in Cheyenne WY on a lighter note: Selling the “house of horror” can be achieved by using the right words. Words are the most powerful tool to market real estate properties and homes for sale in Cheyenne WY. Deciphering the exaggerated and sometimes most interesting descriptions can either be funny or frustrating. It is safe to say that homes for sale in Cheyenne WY and most real estate listing agents use very accurate descriptions to market properties. There are, however, words that some listing agents use that often mean something very different.
When a person reads “needs some TLC,” you tend to think in the direction of fixing a loose tile and a coat of paint. In reality this can mean that the previous owner seriously neglected the home and it may take major renovations before you can move in. A strange listing read: “Plenty of parking in the adjoining common lots.” What it actually means is that the parking is limited and visitor parking is even more limited. Of course, there are words that will not sell a property, such as spine-chilling, frightening, creepy and alarming.
The Hampshire property in the UK has a reputation of chilling levels of supernatural activities. The manor in Portsmouth was on auction for the amount of £350,000 and was considered a bargain. This property, a former youth hostel and monastery, is the oldest in Portsmouth. This manor was an entry in the Doomsday Book in 1086 and is recognised as one of the top seven scariest places in the UK. This property was listed as a “10 bedroom character property for sale Old Wymering Lane, Cosham, Portsmouth” and the writer forgot to mention the housemates. The word “eerie” would have had an even more negative impact on the price.
Connie, at homes for sale in Cheyenne WY, says there are certain factors that can really hurt a home’s marketability, such as environmental problems, noise, soil and murder scenes. Who would purchase a home where Jeffrey Dahmer committed his crimes if the listing read “house of horror at an affordable price.” Should a seller disclose all information when a property enters the market? The Real Estate Seller’s Disclosure law requires sellers to disclose all known “material defects” of the property that are not “readily observable.” It is hard to prove that there is a housemate in the house and many people passed away in the Portsmouth manor since 1086. Which one do you mention?
It is fair to say some listing agents do have a way with words. The agent usually gathers the information from the sellers at homes for sale in Cheyenne WY. Sellers do not always reveal the dark secrets of a home that can result into them getting less money. The listing agent has only one tool....words.
